Why another password manager
There are a lot of password managers out there. Rooster has some unique goals:
- it is easy to maintain so that it never becomes unmaintained
- it works completely offline with optional support for online sync
- it stores simple username/password tuples, nothing more, nothing less
Rooster protects your passwords with state-of-the-art cryptography algorithms:
- scrypt for key derivation
- aes256-cbc for encryption
- hmac-sha256 for authentication
To top it off, it works Linux, BSD and OSX.
